Theatre drama: According to a Reels post by castingbythem, some theatres over reported the number of employees by tens or even hundreds and made off with millions of dollars in some cases. Allegedly, these theatres counted unpaid actors and staff as full-time paid employees.

As someone dialed into the Atlanta theatre scene in 2020, I remember how many actors, comedians, and stage workers struggled to meet their basic needs during the pandemic. I’m sure none of the Atlanta-based theatres were this dishonest, but I hope the media look into this so people can know the truth.
